1956 Map of Mt. Michelson

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Camden Bay and the northern coastline of the North Slope Borough meet the vast interior of the Arctic National Wildlife Range in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by the massive drainage systems of the Canning River and Hulahula River, which flow northward from the high peaks of the Brooks Range. Geologic and topographic diversity is evident in the transition from the coastal plains to the Sadlerochit Mountains and Shublik Mountains. High-altitude features like Mount Michelson and Mount Chamberlin tower over glacial remnants such as Etuluk Glacier and Okpilak Glacier. The interior is punctuated by significant freshwater bodies, notably Lake Schrader and Lake Peters, while a solitary Tractor Trail near the coast represents the minimal industrial footprint in this remote region during the 1950s.
